    Jason-Thanks for the update. The two u-joint they are talking about are between the transmission and the front rearend. If they are very bad you should be feeling a vibration.

    My Lord it's like looking in a mirror. Now just start running #### over and we can be twins.

    You are completely welcome to keep it here, but man all that in real time would have made a pretty hefty thread!

    What sucks most there is the tire trouble. Unless you have some reason to believe that tire was in unusually bad shape, they're probably all going to start one after the other. M. Enterprises was dealing with that for a few months straight.

    It evens out man, I had a terrible first 2 months. This month finally I made all my payments and two on some. Just FINALLY paid my insurance yesterday, and that was even since I was complaining about it 3 weeks ago. You may have to let some things slide and pay when you can until it all rolls around. That's been my experience anyway. Keep some cash on hand even if you owe something now. I don't pay on anything unless I have 1k left over after. And I've always needed it.

    carry a can of either and a lighter. Either, its not just for cold weather..... lol

    tire of the bead? spray fairly quickly around therim into the tire and spray a little tail coming out over the edge of the tire and light the tail. When the either explodes it will bead the tire..... Do be carefull though, start with just a little spray and work up to more untill you know how much it takes. it can blow the tire up.

    and my legal disclaimer reads: This statement is for eucational purposes only. I do not in any way recomend you actually seat tires with an either explosion


    although oddly enough when you check tire pressure in my tires it has a funny smell like either

    I'm gonna go with #3 as the funniest. Only thing funnier woulda been if you had wet or shat yourself as well. :biggrin_25525:

    they aint nothing like last year. Last year coming from WI I was totally blindsided. none of the animals were treated You couldn't even sit in my livingroom without long pants and socks on. I don't have none of that this year. Actully i'm not even sure we have fleas yet, may just be them darn nats. All I know is come dusk you don't want to be outside in shorts.

    Living in the woods does have some down sides. But if you do pass out the rest of us will have great laughs when you wake up and look like a tomatoe

    If I pass out, it will be in my sleeper with the doors locked. I learned a long time ago not to pass out with your buddies around.
